Sriracha, Srirach Every Where...

I have been unable to do this, but I do believe that emptying your cupboards and refilling them with all Whole30/Paleo/Healthy foods will make it much easier for anyone and everyone who attempts this blasted thing. Last night was hell for me. I was hungry hungry hungry and all we had was processed meats, cheeses, and bread/crackers in the house.



Ahhh Yeah-Now I can cope.

***It felt like the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner***

Day after day, day after day,

We stuck, nor breath nor motion;

As idle as a painted ship

Upon a painted ocean.

 

Water, water, every where,

And all the boards did shrink;

Water, water, every where,

Nor any drop to drink.

Hence--going to go shopping today!



WHEW! Just came back and did my grocery shopping today and spent a butt-load of money, but I will not run into that problem I had last night with nothing available to eat. I made Paleo-Mayo, Paleo-Mayo/Ranch, & Most importantly...

Paleo Sriracha Sauce (HELL YA!)....I totally love this sauce and up to 20 days ago, I had put that on everything. I have really missed and was going through some serious withdrawls, but found on NOM NOM PALEO, the way to make it. So I did!

Yes-this is my life blood.

NOTE: Making this is pretty brutal. I wore gloves and had to wear a surgeon's mask to breathe when cleaning and cutting up all the peppers. AT first I didn't have the mask and I ended up coughing uncontrollably, my eyes watered, and then I began sneezing (yes while coughing too). If only I would have farted and hiccuped at that same moment, I would have time travelled...because everyone knows that if you Sneeze, Hiccup and Fart all at once, you end up going back 5 seconds in time. What would happen if you add coughing and crying?

I cut and chopped my vegetable medley (which is my new "rice" or "bread"), I have that with just about every meal. It does get a bit boring, but it does take some of the thinking out of preparing at times, which is quite nice. 

Anyway--bring on the last 10 days!


If anyone loves this sauce as much as me, I suggest "friending" the Oatmeal and their partner site The Rooster Sauce.
